The Great War is a better opportunity for Wonder Woman to be disgusted with the "world of men" in general, instead of the world of Nazis.

These kids today, with the music and the clothes and the wanting to challenge the patriarchy…

Those participation trophies were given out by adults who had fathers like Frank. If the next generation is fucked— and it isn't— you've only yourselves to blame.

Monuments Men also did its level best to minimize the contributions of all the women who actually masterminded the scheme.
